Makes you wonder how a person falls to their death ok that trail at all? You would have to roll to your death, which is highly unlikely, and if grace and her father were scared of the conditions, why were they separated? Why would he not be right next to her to assist f need be? Why is there no evidence of her fall actually ever happening? There’s never a moment in the summer when that trail isn’t full of people, there should be at very least picture and video evidence of the aftermath, medical assistance or recovery efforts.
@@Romoto131 Keep in mind there was a thunderstorm that unexpectedly rolled in that caused the tragedy. The rock becomes like ice in some places when it is wet. I imagine everyone was concentrating on keeping their footing and their cameras dry instead of filming anything. You also pretty much have to go single file going up and down the cables, so he could not have been right next to her.
@@ShawAdventuresUA-cam There would have been a whole scene AFTERWARDS regarding the recovery and interviews with witnesses etc. Why was there no word of this supposed accident until 6 days ago?
@Romoto131 Maybe for once, people had common decency to not pull out their phones and record such a tragic incident. Maybe instead of being a looky-loo hoping to get footage so they could go viral, they tried to help. Or comforted the father. I guarantee you it was slippery for everyone so maybe they focused on helping each other. Why are you questioning this accident? The cables are notoriously dangerous. Grace was not the first death and she won't be the last. People get injured on the cables every year. If you really need to satisfy your sick urge to see people struggling on the cables, look up footage of the rainstorm from around 6 months ago. So many injuries that day as people slid down the granite. The rock was literally covered in blood. It will at least show you how dangerous the cables are, since you think they are so easy and impossible to fall from.
This is NOT a "technical climb," though it is advisable to treat it as one due to the number of people ascending it. Wear a swami belt, have two runners connected to it via locking carabiners. Keep one clipped to the cable in case you or others above you loose their footing. I have ascended it numerous times over the decade with not a hint of danger, but those were days when few tourists were on the trail.
Thank you...this is the obvious solution, even if it is an easy climb for you. It annoys me how many "climbers" are discouraging clipping in because it's "too easy". What if a 200lb dude wipes out right above you?
Seriously I would stand there and tell people without harness you have to turn around and leave. This is ridiculous, the recent tragedy that happened to that poor girl was probably because she didn’t have harness and ropes. And you got to have two ropes, so many people have one.
@@mariyakalynyuk162 The rangers who are there discourage harnesses. The next day a woman slipped and died. Danielle Burnet. I won't soon forget the helicopter carrying her body under it (not inside the chopper.) She had a harness but was not clipped on the cable when a random rain set in...on a sunny day.
@@MOAB-UT It wasn't a sunny day. The dad even said it was a cool, cloudy day. The rangers warned them storms were possible. It's a tragic situation, but they chose to risk it because it was "bucket list". A bucket list mentality isn't a safe one to have.
That is why you should have a safety harness with you. I did a hike to almost half dome in 2021 but we had no permits to go up. But in our research we knew if we hiked half dome was going to be with a harness belt even if it took longer.
Me and two friends went up in 1978. It was like climbing up a basketball because you could only see so far ahead due to the curvature. Going down was worse but as long as you kept a good grip on the cables you were ok.
you don't need a harness you just need to know your own limits. Just because something is hard for you doesn't mean its hard for everyone. and just because your clipped in doesn't make it any safer unless the weather is a factor. but this is one of these easiest climbs I've done. and your comment is just ignorant
@@chrishernandez273...are you seriously suggesting being clipped doesn't make it safer? Yes, it's a very easy climb for someone with basic climbing skills, but that doesn't change the fact that it's safer clipped. What if a 200lb guy slips above you and bowls into you? What is the weather changes while you were on the mountain? You can't control everything, there is always risk. You shouldn't discourage clipping, it would have saved Grace, and prevented a bunch of injury last time there was a storm. The ignorance here is on your part: this macho "it's not even hard" attitude is ironically frowned upon in the actual climbing community. Pride is how you get hurt. It is a life threatening hike no matter which way you cut it, risk needs to be managed in various ways.
I seriously thought climbing up the back of half dome was a chill hike. Considering how many people do it and how many Instagram pics I see from the top, this is something EVERYONE is leaving out lol
@@Romoto131 Why would there be a random fake story. There have been other deaths there. And injuries. If you slip and slide you’d be fine. But if you end up going head over foot you’re fcked
@@Romoto131 you are a lying troll; multiple people have died there; and I believe everyone has the right to kill themselves in a national park; just don't kill anyone else; or damage the environment.
All you need is harness and ropes, and it’s very safe hike, I did it 3 times and felt very safe. The issue is that people don’t wear harness and ropes.

@@BL4CKLABLE10 They don't recommend it to inexperienced hikers. In fact, there is a lottery permit to limit the number of hikers on the cables when they are up. At some point, people need to be responsible for their choices.
You turn around and go home. I would only attempt this on a sunny, dry day and use a harness...like I did. You cannot however clip on anywhere on sub dome which you have to navigate first. It was very tricky and I was not comfortable on it. I found Half Dome easy. I was fully clipped it- two clips so one stays on at all times when you click over to the new section after the poles every 20 feet.
@@LizaSachdev The rocks are slippery when dry and like ice when wet. The cables also get slippery. Look how steep this is. You can't get a good grip with your hands or feet. She wasn't the first to slip and she won't be the last. Idk why the park doesn't require people wear harnesses.
@MOAB-UT Please read both of my comments in this thread and the one above my last comment and see the conversation. Also please note the question mark which means I was asking the person above me if it's steep. Question marks usually mean a person is not stating a fact, but are instead asking a question.
People have been doing this without a harness? Hikers at any levels of expertise, even novices??? Wtf. How? I'm surprised we don't hear tragic falls all the time!
First and foremost; you have a right to kill yourself in a Wilderness/ outdoor activity doing risky activities; just don't kill other innocent people or damage the environment; every activity doesn't have to be as safe as it possibly could be.
There are spikes in the ground that you have to unclip for about every 20 feet. Everyone is inside the cables. There is a wood shelf you can rest on inside the cables. Traffic jam too. I used a harness and was fine.
@@craigbritton1089 I had a harness when I did half dome. I did not repel. You calmly and safely clip and unclip one of your two tethers. One tether end from your Y cable stays on a cable at all times. When climbing up, about every 15 feet you have to clip one end of your Y to the upper section. The lower tail remains on the lower wire section until the upper one is secure. Same simple procedure going down only in reverse. I was far more confident so I moved literally about 2x's as fast as everyone else who was clinging to that cable for survival- same going up. I flew going up. Remember, someone above you could fall and take you off the hill.

was the first times I’ve seen video that actually captures the feel of doing the cables. Especially how steep it is.
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Looks so dangerous to me, specially without using a harness.
It is. I always make a hasty harness with webbing. Then use the tails from the hasty harness to connect me to the cables.
Watching this after hearing about grace rohloff tragically slipping and falling to her death. Really puts it into perspective

HOW DO YOU GET DOWN?
the same way you go up.
Carefully.
Yeah, the same way you go up, you come down. I found coming down much easier, but you defintely want to be careful.
60 seconds and still painfully too long for a hike lol
Definitely wouldn’t want to be up there when an earthquake hits!
